Branch name based version doesn't work

[hi-ogawa]

I've heard pkg.pr.new supports a branch name as version such as https://pkg.pr.new/svelte@async in sveltejs/svelte#15845. However when I tried something similar in vitejs/vite-plugin-react#634 to have https://pkg.pr.new/@vitejs/plugin-rsc@canary, it ended up 404. It seems to only work with exact commit number https://pkg.pr.new/@vitejs/plugin-rsc@950ed88 or pr number https://pkg.pr.new/@vitejs/plugin-rsc@634.

 ERR_PNPM_FETCH_404  GET https://pkg.pr.new/@vitejs/plugin-rsc@canary: Not Found - 404

This error happened while installing a direct dependency of /home/hiroshi/code/others/waku

No authorization header was set for the request.

I'm wondering if this is still expected to work or is there anything wrong on my side about the setup.

And for vue, while it has worked before, I just found out that the @main alias is stuck at v3.5.14, which is a 3-month-old commit, leading to failures in ecosystem-ci recently.

@btea is this due to the pnpm caching thing you told me about before?

It seems different.

The problem we discussed earlier was that when installing a link with a pr number multiple times, due to caching issues and the fact that pkg.pr.new does not support head requests, the content installed later is not the latest, but rather the content cached from the first installation.
